To all:

Hello everyone! My apologies for this almost month late response, I’ve been going through some rough situations but I’m working through them. I have really good news, however, as I have been accepted to Case Western with a $26,000 University Scholarship. Unfortunately, that’s where the good news ends because Case is really expensive to attend. Both tuition and room & board combined are around $60k, and that just won’t cut it. The Financial Aid package I received was very little as well, despite having the requirements for aid, and they were all in the form of loans. If anyone has any ideas of where to look for more in-house aid, I would really appreciate all the help! In the meantime, I’ve been applying to external scholarships to subsidize Case. I really would love to go to Case because I feel that it would be a transformative intellectual experience, especially since they have a Cognitive Science program. If I don’t attend Case, my only option is my local state school for which I have a full ride and acceptance to its Honors College.

@OHMomof2:

Cognitive Science does incorporate a neuroscience element to its curriculum, but what it actually focuses on is an interdisciplinary curriculum consisting of Psychology, Sociology, Computer Science, and Education. It also encompasses other social sciences, but these are the ones that are most apparent in the field and curriculum. Hope this helped in clarifying☺.
